The community members of Karagoto and a team from Parker Hill Community Church in Scranton PA are digging ditches for water pipe that will bring water from the local borehole to the refurbished tank at Ngunguru Primary school. The tank at the school will serve the community homes near that tank. There are several more tanks to be installed and refurbished in the planned future phases of the water project.
